Steve & Sue Fast and I spent much of yesterday along Lake Ontario in
the vicinity of Fair Haven. As expected, there was a flock of some 60
SNOW BUNTINGS on the sand at the State Park. In general the lake was
quiet in spite of the brisk NE winds. We located a single RED-THROATED
LOON off the breakwater along with three White-winged Scoters,
hundreds of Red-breasted Mergansers, some 30 Horned Grebes, a few
Buffleheads, a single female COMMON GOLDENEYE, single Ring-necked
Duck, several flocks of BLACK SCOTERS (total number approx. 40). We
had a flyover flock of 30 Brant and six more swimming just off the
beach. The only shorebirds were 4 DUNLIN (no Purple Sandpiper). There
were a couple of Bonaparte's Gulls and several dozen Common Loons.
